Nancy would then go on to work for Mott Community College as a custodian for 26 years and retiring in 2012. Nancy loved her work family as much as her real family and kept in touch over the years. She will be dearly missed by many friends and neighbors. Nancy had a deep love for all living things. She especially loved her many cats she had over the years and the dogs she had befriended.
